The Pivot - Episode 5

Mónica Ortiz Uribe, a Mexican American journalist, has long been fascinated by the border - the place where two countries and cultures meet. Her reporting often amplifies the voices of underrepresented groups, including women, immigrants, minorities, and underpaid workers. In this episode, Mónica joins executive producer Valeria Fernández to discuss the creation of Así Fue, a platform that provides support and safety for journalists to share their experiences. The two freelancers delve into the realities of freelancing, including the challenges of being your own boss and finding balance after experiencing burnout.
